Turmeric for Boils
Home Remedy Ingredients
- Turmeric - 1 teaspoon
- Filtered Water - 8 to 10 oz

[YEA] 11/19/2008: Tonya from Long Branch, NJ USA: "My husband and I had four boils this month alone, something neither of us had ever experienced. We concluded that we got the boil in the same areas that we shaved...and shame on us we used the same razor! Anyway last week the biggest boil I've ever seen came out on my face by my ear. It was larger than a golf ball. I was about to go to the ER when I came across this site. My husband ran to store to get tumeric capsules because I had tried everything and figured what the heck! Well last night I took my first capsule woke up and the boil is 1/2 the size already. The pain has decreased as well and I can function at work without feeling it today! I am not one that takes herbal pills and usually trusts the doctors. But when I went to the first pharmacy, the pharmacist said he'd never heard of the spice being used for that. I say, they should be made aware. This stuff is truly amazing and I'm sold!! Thank you everyone. I was truly at my wits end!"
[YEA] 11/11/2008: Aryan from Scarborough, Ontario: "hi!!! There is no doubt on my mind that Turmeric powder really works!!! I have a boil on my face and didnt knew It was boil because i never had any boil experience before until 1 friend of mine suggested it maybe a boil. When I went home from work I googled about boil and found out this wonderful helpful site.Took turmeric powder omg!!! I cant stand the taste , instead I made a paste out of it and put it directly to the boil and start reading again feedbacks and there I found out the home made turmeric capsule and ASAP I look for some vitamins capsule in my medicine cabinet, empty the capsule and put turmeric powder oh what a relief!!! My boil starts to pop the next day and now is a happy ending for me.. Thank u so very very much it really helped me. GOd bless everyone!"
[YEA] 11/09/2008: Miss M from Cincinnati, Ohio: "Just 2 days ago, I had a very nasty boil in my bikini area that literally grew to the size of an egg--it was so painful and large that it scared me. I had boils in this area before, but never this big. This one was not going away anytime soon. I finally I went to the doc and even he was shocked to see its size. He gave me a script for 2 different antibiotics and sent me home on restricted activity and told me to take lots of sitz baths. That just wasn't good enough for me because I knew there was probably something natural out there that I could take to help get rid of it. So I googled "boil" and eventually found this website. In addition to what the doc told me to do, I tried some turmeric powder in warm water(nasty), I drank some ACV tea and put an onion on it overnight to draw it out. I felt the need to attack it from all sides because it was so painful and was making me so sick, I felt like I was dying. In the middle of the night (early Saturday), I got up to take another hot bath and it had already came to a head and was very close to bursting-it was so painful, I helped it along just a little--I know you're not supposed to, but I couldn't wait anymore. The drainage was so foul and disgusting, not like anything I had ever seen (or smelled)before. Long story short, the area remained very very swollen, but I felt some relief and spent all day Saturday recuperating. I took turmeric in the early afternoon and more today. The swelling has gone way down, and virtually no pain. Also, as soon as it popped, I started putting the triple antibiotic ointment with the pain reliever on it and kept a gauze pad on it which I change about 3 times a day. I feel well enough to go to work tomorrow and it's all because of this website. My doc will try to take some of the credit, but without that turmeric to speed things up, I would still be miserable. Thanks a million--I'll be back many many times. The turmeric works."
[YEA] 10/18/2008: A.M. from Chicago, IL / USA: "I never had boils or acne before until after the birth of my first child after age 30! The first pea sized one on my bikini line went away with a hot soak/compresse as advised by my doctor. Then I had another a few months later. In both cases they reabsorbed into my body within a day. Haven't had any for 6 months. This third one grew with the hot soak to the size of a grape in the first day. Very painful. Then I found this website. I applied Camphophenique which helped relieve the pain & throbbing immediately. The next day I purchased Tumeric, took two and the boil shrank within hours. The second day I took two more and it shrank to the size of a small pimple. Day three it completely reabsorbed back into my body. I'm going to take the tumeric for a few more days and also at the start of my menses, as that has been when they appear."
[YEA] 10/15/2008: Remon from Toronto, Canada: "Had a boil on my face coming and going for months and another one behind my ear. Took 1 tsp of turmeric in warm water 3 times a day and after 24hrs both boils went away. Now at day 3 and a clear beautiful face.
Thank you all!"
[YEA] 10/14/2008: D Montgomery from mountain view, ca: "Staph infection boils
I read about using Tumeric a few days ago to help with boils. (2 teaspoons in warm water every three hours during the day) I immediately started taking it. I didn't see results for about a day, but it is working. I had two boils, one that came a day or two before the other. The one that appeared later started to drain earlier. And just like others have written, the tumeric caused the boil to come to a head and drain. The tumeric also helped with the fluid build up around the infection. I've taken antibiotics before to treat boils, but they left me feeling drained and sick. Taking tumeric has kept me feeling energetic.
I have also been using apple cider vinegar to help my body regain a more alkaline state, Kyolic (aged garlic extract), and barley grass powder to help my body cleanse itself."
10/07/2008: Amy from Tatum, Texas: "How much Turmeric should I give a 3 and 8 year old for treatment of boils? Don't want to over do it and don't want to give to little. Any help PLEASE!!! Email me."
Replies11/30/2008: Samantha from Wendell, North Carolina replies: "Hey- I know its been almost 2 months. i hope your children havent suffered this long. Both my 3 year old and 20 month old and ME get MRSA boils every few months but since 9 months ago they have been really infrequent and no where near as the hassel. More mild discomfort rather than EXCRUITATING PAIN. I down a tsp of tumeric as soon as i feel like i'm getting one. I cannot for the life of me get my children to come near it. I found a website that claimed Manuka Honey helped. The stuff is expensive at Wellsprings/ Whole Foods $36 for a small 12oz jar. But I swear by it. I dab it with a qtip on a the site along with the antibiotic ointment the doc prescribes us and its gone within a day or 2. My kids also get a spoonful to eat when they get colds. They heal cuts in no time. I also noticed they come on after we ingest lots of sweets. My son just a birthday so lots of cake and junk food. On Earthclinic there was something about a possible link to sugar."
[YEA] 09/29/2008: Elizabeth from Barnesville, OH: "I just finished (or so I thought) my second battle with MRSA in 3 months. I have been off the anitbiotic (Bactrim) for about 10 days. I still had hard tissue surrounding the incision where it was lanced. I was told at the doctor's office that this was probably scar tissue. I took one 500mg capsule of Turmeric last night (mainly for prevention purposes) after reading this website. This morning, the incision began to drain profusely and the hard tissue surrounding the incision is nearly gone. It may be coincidence, but I find it doubtful! You've made a believer out of me. Will keep you posted if it continues to work."
09/26/2008: Steph from Mississauga, Canada: "Just wondering if anyone knows if Turmeric Force-Full Spectrum Turmeric is a good capsule. It doesn't seem to be working for me. It has been almost 2 weeks. Each tablet is 400mg. Is there any capsule that is recommended???"
RepliesEC: What fillers does this brand contain? Turmeric powder bought in the grocery store in the spice section (or a large bag bought for a few dollars at an Indian grocer) is quite potent.
09/26/2008: Steph from Mississauga, Canada replies: "Turmeric force. new chapter. other ingred include extra virgin, maltodextrin, silica, and yellow beeswax. turmeric 400mg-80mg supercritical extract and 320 mg of ethanolic extract. I have read that maltodextrin can cause headaches. i have been fine but boil not going away. it is very very difficult for me to just take spice. I can't stand taste or texture. Thanks your your help. really appreciate this forum."
EC: Try reading up on Ted's remedies for boils and MRSA. You might find something helpful there.

09/26/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "to Steph from Messauga, Ca. Hello Steph, Did you know that you can purchase empty capsules and put the turmeric (Or any other substance) in them yourself, if you can't stand the taste otherwise. The little device for filling empty caps runs about $l3.00. You can find both on line. Probably be less than what you paid for that turmeric that isn't working. Another thing you can do for boils (& other infections) is good old epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). Just mix about l/4 cup of epsom salts to i pint of water as hot as you can stand to wring a wash cloth out in. Apply the epsom salts soaked wash cloth to the boil. Do this about 4 times a day and you will see it making a big difference about the second day. You will need to continue this until all redness (inflammation) & soreness is gone."
[YEA] 10/06/2008: Steph from Mississauga, Canada replies: "Looks like the Home-made turmeric capsules worked. I couldn't stand the taste of turmeric so I made my own. So far, so good!! Thanks for all the help and advice!"
[YEA] 09/13/2008: Josh from Miami, FL: "Tumeric works... I have been getting boils - usually on my leg...and once in a while on my neck. I got a nasty one on my face for the first time. I was going to see a Dr. for some antibiotics, but I drank the tumeric mixture along with heating the boil. It only took about a day for it to drain massively. Already it has flattened out and is healing. This really works! Thanks for your website!!!"
[YEA] 09/09/2008: Mary from Holdenville, OK: "Tumeric is healing my boil after using for only 1 day. I had a very painful boil in my groin area that made it almost impossible to walk. I went to wal-mart and bought Tumeric and started by taking 1 capsule with each meal. By the end of the day... i had forgotten that i even had a boil, the pain was completely gone and the boil is disappearing. Thank you all so much for suggesting tumeric."
[YEA] 08/22/2008: J from Redlands, California USA: "About a month ago i came across this site. for the last 25 years i have had cystic acne probably genitic...I also suffered from boils around the nose. possibly MRSA or a staph infection! Anyways i read the forum and decided to apply some of the treatments. I first tried turmeric capsules and most recently turmeric powder with milk. I think the simple powder with milk is more effective...I also mixed a few drops of tea tree oil in vaseline and applied it to my nostrils with a cotton swab. At this point i still get the acne but the inflammation that goes along with the acne...has been reduced dramaticaly...thank you so much for providing this information!!!!"
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 08/08/2008: Rochelle from Houston, Texas: "I tried the turmeric rememdy for boils. I just tried it for the first time yesterday, 8/7/08. I have a small boil on my inner thigh. Before taking the capsules my boil was very hard and round yet not painful or itchy. Today at approx. 3 p.m. CST, my boil is smaller in size. I can't say that this is directly due to the turmeric but it is smaller in size. Does not hurt to try. I will continue to take the turmeric for up to a week. I will give more feedback then."
[YEA] 08/06/2008: Havilah from Auburn, CA: "I have had boils and severe acne since I was ten years old. I'm twenty five now. The boils spread from my face to my back and arms, and then to my thighs and other areas in that region. I was unable to find a remedy. It was very frustrating and painful. I discovered this website last year and have used several remedies successfully for other issues. One day I discovered the section on boils and saw that many people recomended turmeric. I started taking app. 7 capsules of turmeric every day. I purchased the capsules from Wal-Mart. They are very inexpensive. Within two weeks my face cleared up. It's been four weeks now and no new boils have appeared at any place on my body. I get compliments from friends and family asking what I did to clear my face up. The turmeric not only cleared up the boils but the acne as well."
